I'm doing a lot better now. The healing is almost complete. New tissue has filled in the pressure sore and a layer of skin has covered over it. They've also removed the catheter I've been using the last several months, and I'm feeling a lot better.
It's still painful to sit in my chair, but I'm trying to spend more time in it as each day goes by. In fact, with the recent warm weather, Chris got the RV out of storage and we went camping for a couple of days. Woo hoo!! First camping trip in over 3 years! We enjoyed it very much, but Chris was exhausted by the time we got home and unloaded. I spent about 12 hours in my chair on the last day of our trip, which was too much. My butt and my back were both pretty sore by the time I got home and in bed.
I'm still spending most of my time in bed. When I am in my chair, my hands and arms are still too weak to use the keyboard, so I'm still using the speech recognition software. Chris is typing this in for me.
All in all though, the recovery is continuing. I'm hoping it won't take too much longer until, God willing, I'm back on my feet again.
The nursing supervisor came in today and has discharged me. So we're now on our own. Prayers up.
Here are a few pics from our camping trip to Casa de Fruta (about 2 hours from our house):
So glad you
could get away for a change of scenery.
Looks like you had perfect weather.
You are always in my prayers.
Happy Travels!
P.S. You have one peach of a son. ❤️🌹🇺🇸

Hang in there and keep up the mending. God Bless.
Best wishes for the future....prayers ongoing
Oh, my goodness! It is sooo good to hear from you AND to see pictures of you on your camping trip. Long time since I saw that motor home!
Prayers continue for you to keep up the healing process and to get some meat on those bones so it doesn’t hurt so bad to sit. LOL! And thanks to your wonderful sons for all the work they do!
Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless you, Jim.
Amazing you got out on the road — and fantastic news all around. God bless JR!
Sunshine and family, a great mix.
So glad you got out and away from things for a few days. I need to do that, but due to taxation and certain goals, must keep working. Perhaps when (if) I retire there will be more direct comments about what has been happening in this country. I do want to prepare in case some foolish person or group of persons wants to visit me about it, though. Hang in there sir.
God Bless You, Jim.
Jim, so glad to see you living the dream. Thankful for the blessings and the support you get from family and medical resources. You know you lead a charmed life, and get to see so many miracles. God bless you, sir.
